Do you love your new Hercules set? Can't get enough of FansProject's items? Upset that you bought a knock off when you thought you were getting an original? Use this forum to tell everyone your thoughts about TF Knock Offs and 3rd party toys.

In our second piece of MasterMind Creations news for the day, they have released a teaser prototype image via their facebook page of their next Hearts of Steel inspired project, KM-05 Air Screek (aka HOS Starscream). Check him out below!

I'm sorry, but that has got to be one of the most uninspiring paint apps on a 3rd party Transformer that I have ever seen. For $159 you get grey and flat purple? Well two shades of purple, but they look very close to the same color. Please tell me it is a prototype! I really wanted this one bad when I saw it several months ago. But now it is an easy pass, unless of course that isn't the finished product.

I think $160 is a fair price. It is a large figure made in relatively small batches for an extremely niche market. Considering the $150 that reissue Sixshot will be, or the $80 to $100 FansProject figures, $160.00 isn't too bad.

Not sure. It is the first image of the final colours for this figure, so the only ones that know for sure are MMC.

i really dont get all of the whining over the price honestly you are getting a figure engineered from the ground up in a style you will likely never see in a major retailer and for what the remodded official mp's will go for with larger production runs.seriously you want to whine go whine about pe arcee a deluxe for $100 bucks.

considering that you are getting a 3rd party release that from the info provided would equal or exceed the size/mass of unicron(the second largest tf ever made because lets face it herc is only primus sized dispite the hype) thats fantastic accomplishment and although i dont collect the HOS line i commend MMC for a wonderful addition to an already impressive line.
